How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 464: The Lively 2009 and the Schedule Broker

An investment of RMB 6.8 million resulted in a total box office of RMB 5.8 million, resulting in a loss of nearly RMB [-] million.

Wu Baige's operation was really like washing Han Sanpin's butt with cold water - it made his eyes irritated.

Of course.

Huaying felt a little uncomfortable because of the situation in the upper and lower parts of "Red Cliff".

However, the overall mainland film and television industry is prosperous and prosperous.

Without it.

Because except for the two movies "Red Cliff", which took too much steps and broke their eggs, the other movie projects have all made huge profits.

"If You Are the One", which has a box office of over 3 million, has once again proved that the mainland film market has a broad box office base for comedy films.

"Painted Skin 2", with a box office of over 1 million, proved for the first time that a film starring purely mainland artists and recognized by the mainland film market can have a box office of over [-] million, and more than [-] million.

"Ip Man 1", which grossed nearly [-] million in box office, proved to the Hong Kong and Wanwan film and television circles that the mainland film market really has great potential.

a time.

The internal entertainment became lively.

The Chinese-American spy film "The Wind", co-produced by Mordu Film Group, has been approved, and Mr. Zhou, who just starred in "Painted Skin 1", was invited;
Zhang Yimou was promoted to Zhang Guoshi after completing the opening ceremony. Under the urging of old picture Zhang Weiping, he prepared [Three Guns to Surprise];
Ning Hao, a new generation director of comedy films, is directing the sequel to "Crazy Stone" - "Crazy Racing", which will soon be released in theaters... and there are endless news.

Xiangjiang Film and Television's move to the north has also become lively.

After missing the blessing of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", God of Gambling Zhou had been hanging out in Hollywood for many years, and even without making much of a name for himself, he also began to join the queue going north to Hong Kong in a low-key manner, relying on the celebrity positions in the past. Got a movie called [Confucius];
Veteran Hong Kong filmmaker Huang Baiming has added the 2009 label to his well-known Hong Kong series "Happy Events in the Family" and released it as "Happy Events in the Family 2009". He also invited Wu Junru and Gu Tianle to star, hoping to catch up with them. Take advantage of the booming market for mainland comedy films;
There is also Xiangjiang Film and Television Company. Seeing the success of "Ip Man", the old habit of imitation has been committed again, and they directly invited Guo Tianwang, Yam Dahua and Chen Haonan to complete a "Wind and Cloud 2";
Subsequently, the director duo Mak and Zhuang produced "Infernal Affairs", and invited Gu Tianle, Wu Yanzu, and Liu Qingyun to project "Eavesdropping";
Liu Tianwang, who is doing well in the Mainland, has already fully booked his schedule, collaborating with Shu Qi from "If You Are the One" in "You Are the Dragon" and with Big S in "Future Police".

There are also Wanwan, Asan, Korea, Neon...

In short, with the gradual rise of the mainland's film and television market, film and television circles across Asia have begun to turn their attention to the mainland, and even Hollywood has begun to pay more attention to the mainland.

……

mid to late December.

The 81st Oscars are on time.

Another highly 'artistic' film, winning major awards.

While the Oscar jury is content with its one-vote vote, the popularity of the Oscars is also quietly declining.

But Zhang Nan is not too concerned about these. Zhang Nan is more concerned about the negotiations between Old Luke and Marvel Studios, and the negotiations have indeed entered the final stage.

Soon.

The phone rang, and Zhang Nan immediately picked up the phone.

"How was the discussion?" Zhang Nan asked directly without asking around.

Old Luke on the other side of the phone said in a good mood: "We've negotiated, and both conditions for sharing have been added, but the unit price of 1600 million US dollars per minute has not been kept. Marvel Studios is fighting with me to the death. I had no choice but to bargain, so I only negotiated for 1 million for one minute.”

"That's enough. I thought you would come up with a unit price of 1000 million US dollars." Zhang Nan said with a sigh of relief.

I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Negotiated the follow-up cooperation with Marvel Studios, combined with his current works of [Jurassic World], [Transformers], [Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron], [Harry Potter - Voldemort] and [Pirates of the Caribbean] 】Five major series.

In addition, he is also starring in the upcoming "Avatar".

I dare not say more.

But within the next ten years, Zhang Nan will be able to continue to maintain his current peak state.

It’s not that Zhang Nan is incapable of further improving his reputation and price. It’s actually that his current reputation and price have basically reached the top of the global film industry.

"For 1000 million U.S. dollars, do you think I'm a pig?"

Old Luke on the other side of the phone sarcastically retorted, and then changed the subject: "Zhang, New Line Cinema and my brother-in-law Disney called me and said it was [Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron 2] and [Caribbean]. The post-production of "Pirates 3" is almost completed. I would like to ask your opinion on when it will be released."

"Do you still need to ask for my opinion? Just choose one time each during summer vacation and Christmas time." Zhang Nan was a little puzzled.

Old Luke on the other side of the phone heard Zhang Nan's confusion and explained: "We must choose a schedule each, but the box office of movies in North American movie theaters has been so bad in the past two months. Both New Line and Disney are a little worried about this year's The broad market data during the summer vacation may not be very good.

In addition, you will guest star in [Harry Potter 6] during the summer vacation.

Not to mention the Christmas season.

2012th Century Fox has already set the Christmas schedule for your collaboration with Cameron, "Avatar," and Roland Emmerich's new film "[-]" has also been set for the winter schedule. "

After listening to Old Luke explaining so much, Zhang Nan still didn't quite understand. He was so confused that he started waving his hands over the phone, "No, Old Luke, what exactly do you want to express, I can't quite understand." Understood! I don’t want to choose the summer vacation time, and I don’t want to choose the Christmas time, so why don’t you ask me to artificially create another time slot for them?”

"No."

Old Luke also found that his explanation was a bit convoluted, so he directly put aside all the fancy descriptions and said: "New Line and Disney were severely slaughtered by financial capital in the financial tsunami, and now they attach great importance to the income from new projects. I’m waiting for my blood to come back. I saw that you have been involved in so many films and you are also bound to the core series of several major giants, so I thought of letting you be a schedule broker in the middle.”

Zhang Nan was not surprised when he heard Old Luke say that Disney and New Line Cinema were severely screwed by Wall Street.

After all, in the past few years, Hollywood has also been quite cunning in dealing with financial capital. This can be regarded as tit-for-tat.

But after hearing about the schedule broker, Zhang Nan was a little confused.

He really had never thought of this word.

But when I think back on my projects, in addition to the "Rebirth" series, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is tied to Disney, "Transformers" is tied to Paramount, "Jurassic World" is tied to Universal, and "Haha" Lippert-Voldemort] bound Warner.

Only MGM, Columbia and [-]th Century Fox are left, and they have not cooperated with their own core film projects.

No.

At this time point in 2009, [-]th Century Fox should be considered to be bound by him with "Avatar".

So five of the seven major Hollywood actors have core project cooperation with him. He is really qualified to be a broker for this schedule.

But...why should we put aside the intermediary fees?
"What are the benefits?" Zhang Nan asked directly.

Old Luke grinned over the phone, "One percent of the box office share of all projects."
